Ringo’s Hand Doorknob (1972)

A cast bronze doorknob using Ringo’s hand as the model, including a star shaped ring on index finger. Created by Klaus Voormann as a gift for Starr in 1972, the doorknob was used on the door to Starr’s home recording studio at Rydinghurst in Surrey where among other things, John Lennon’s Imagine was recorded.

The item was part of Ringo Starr & Barbara Bach’s charity auction in December 2015.
